So when you tend to collect more than one thing like I do, you have to find spots to put them. More often than not I have TOO much on my side tables, so much so that Mr. M. often questions where he may place his glass of water.

My table tops are usually a simple collection of silver, a white pitcher and sometimes a white platter, white linen, my floral can be either faux or real depending on the season, a picture of the family, a candle and a trinket or two.

You can see Mr. M.'s dilemma, not much room for that glass.

I like to have my collections scattered around the house and along with being clustered in cabinets. Don't think I spend all my day dusting my collections, that is not happening. I try to rotate my tablescapes at least once a month if not every couple of weeks, helps keep the dust off! Fresh flowers from the gardens or a new treasure picked up from a flea market are always a good addition.

Oh yeah, I can relate to that and I'm sure lot of other women as well... that is so funny about where does your poor husband put a glass on the table. Anyways besides not having the room for anything else it certainly looks very nice.... I guess thats all that matters. No just kidding-

G'morn, Alaina ~ Oh, my, everything is so beautiful presented. Your decor is warm & welcoming ... I love the white but could NEVER do it here, what with my guys ... nope, NEVER!, so I will continue to enjoy all you lovely gals.

Lovely! I just have to show this post to my husband. He thinks i clutter things up! Glad to see i'm not the only one who likes lots of stuff on tables. Looks great Alaina.

I was showing my husband a photo in a magazine of an interior i really liked...the colours and furniture and he says yeah but you'd clutter this room right up!It was the new romantic homes issue of a white living room and yes it was a bit too bare for my liking...but i liked the slipcovered furniture.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! The white hydrangea blooms, the slipcovered chair (you know that is probably my favorite-love, love the skirt), the tabletop window greenhouse, the white linens, the mirror, the details...are perfect!I believe that we are happiest when surrounded by the people and "things" we love :) Debbie

About Me

I am lucky to be married to a wonderful man whom I am totally in love with. We have three adorable children who make us laugh daily, two cats and one dog. We were lucky enough to build our dream home that is filled full of love, laughter and my collections. I am loving all things white, and I believe you can always make treasures even better with some white paint. I have owned my own shop and I loved every process it involved, and one day I may want to do it again with the right partner. I try to live my life with no regrets and I believe that everything happens for a reason and to pay attention to the signs we are sent.
